Abstract

An electronic device (100) has a first body (110) with an image generation apparatus (140) and an optical system (150); and, a display element (105) for providing a virtual image moveably attached to the first body (110) such that the display element (105) is capable of moving in at least one plane relative to the first body (110). Another embodiment relates to a mobile communications device (300) with a first body (305) having an image generation apparatus and an optical system; a second body (310) having a liquid crystal display (350) moveably attached to the first body (305); and, a display element (315) for providing a virtual image moveably attached to the first body (305) such that the display element (315) is capable of moving in at least one plane relative to the first body (305).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 04 August 2006 (04.08.2006)What is claimed Is:
1. An electronic device comprising: a first body having an image generation apparatus and an optical system; and, a substrate guided optical display clement enabled to provide a virtual image, moveably attached to the first body such that the substrate guided optical display element is capable of moving in at least one plane relative to the first body; and a switch, enabling the image generation apparatus when the substrate guided optical display element is in a predetermined position relative to the first body and disabling the image generation apparatus when the substrate guided optical display element is not in the predetermined position relative to the first body.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein the predetermined position is a position of the substrate guided optical display element with respect to the first body that facilitates image generation in the substrate guided optical display element.
3. The device of claim 1, wherein the optical system cornprises a collimator,
4. The device of claim 1, wherein the optical system comprises a converging lens.
5. The device of claim 1, wherein the optical system comprises at least one reflective surface.
